Who Is To Be Charged?
INSPECTOR SIMS: Is that Mr. Poirot? Inspector Sims here. Things are beginning to sit up and look pretty (1) in that little matter you and I know of. DETECTIVE POIROT: Tell me, I pray of you. SIMS: Well, here's item No. 1 - and a pretty big item. Miss B. left a small legacy to her niece and everything else to Katrina. In consideration of her great kindness and attention - that's the way it was put. That alters the complexion of things. Item No. 2 - nobody but Katrina handled that cachet. (2) POIROT: You can be sure of that? SIMS: The girl herself doesn't deny it. What do you think of that? POIROT: Extremely interesting. SIMS: We only want one thing more evidence of how the poison came into her possession. That oughtn't to be difficult. POIROT: But so far you haven't been successful? SIMS: I've barely started. The inquest was only this morning. POIROT: What happened at it? SIMS: Adjourned for a week. POIROT: And the young lady - Katrina? SIMS: I'm detaining her on suspicion. Don't want to run any risks. She might have some funny (3) friends in the country who'd try to get her out of it. POIROT: No, I don't think she has any friends. SIMS: Really? What makes you say that, Mr. Poirot? POIROT: It's just an idea of mine. There were no other "items" as you call them? SIMS: Nothing that's strictly relevant. Miss B. seems to have been monkeying a bit with her shares lately - must have dropped quite a tidy sum. It's rather a funny business, one way and another, but I don't see how it affects the main issue - not at present that is. POIROT: No, perhaps you are right. Well, my best thanks to you. It was most amiable of you to ring me up. SIMS: Not at all. I'm a man of my word. I could see you were interested. Who knows you may be able to give me a helping hand before the end. POIROT: That would give me a great pleasure. It might help you, for instance, if I could lay my hand on a friend of the girl Katrina. SIMS: I thought you said she hadn't any friends? POIROT: I was wrong. She has one. Before the Inspector could ask a further question, Poirot had rung off.
